I planned to become the best clinician I could.

Then I accidentally built a business, not the Instagram version, the real version.

The version with payroll, policies, difficult conversations, compliance audits, cashflow spreadsheets, Sunday afternoons writing procedures and the occasional "what the hell have I done?" moment.

Turns out helping people was the easy part, building a business that could keep helping people. That took a whole different skill set.

Over the last fifteen years I've learnt both.

Some of those lessons came from building a health practice, that has held NDIS registration for over 6 years, turns over multiple 7 figures every year and has lots of moving parts.

Some came from sitting on corporate boards for businesses that turnover 80+ million per annum and operate within both corporate and healthcare compliance requirements.

Some came from practicing and teaching yoga.

Some came from spending a year living (and working) in Antarctica, running an Antarctic research station. When you're living on the bottom of the planet with only a handful of people, you learn pretty quickly that systems matter.

Systems matter.

Structures matter.

Looking after yourself matters.
